Doing a search the site lists a spin for a H16. Looks like 8 m^2.

Call Hobie corp itself.

Or contact the Texel rating system committee. I think they have measured a Hobie 16 spi by now

I have already contacted Hobie and I'm not getting any answers !

I need a link to either a Hobie site that defienes the class rules for the Hobie 16 with a kite or someone to show an ISAF measurent of the kite.

The spi I use on my Nacra 5.2 was from a hobie 16. It's hobie branded and carry a measurement printed on it showing 17.5m^2.

Which means it measures at the 15.65m^2 Most sail makers add a little margin for error.
